ProductsWakeUpNow sold products focused around the concept of health and financial management using a multi-level marketing model. Offered products included WUN Fit, Thunder (energy drink), WUN MD (telemedicine), Awaken drinks, WUN Finance (personal financial management), Taxbot (Tax software), WUN Protect (identity theft protection), and Vacation Club (travel discount program).[2] Truth in Advertising's review of the organization found that some of the products offered by joining its program are available for free or lower cost elsewhere on the Internet and that the organization as of September 2014 has had 160 complaints to the Federal Trade Commission.[3]HistoryWakeUpNow was founded in 2009 by Troy Muhlestein.[4] About 95% of distributors in WakeUpNow failed to make a profit in the program in 2013.[5][6] In a letter written by CEO Phil Polich on February 16, 2015, WUN announced it would cease all network marketing operations due to poor management by former CEO Kirby Cochran citing, "his decisions for a privileged few outweighed the incredible heart and dedication of the many".[7] Pyramid scheme expert Robert FitzPatrick has said that WakeUpNow's closure was typical of multi-level marketing companies, and that prior to being ousted Cochran had been presented as a "godlike figure" by the company.[1][5] References1. ^1 {{cite news|last1=McDonald|first1=Amy|title=How Provo-based MLM "WakeUpNow" failed|url=http://www.heraldextra.com/business/local/how-provo-based-mlm-wakeupnow-failed/article_c56901a2-f064-5e21-affb-ff8ddcdc6585.html|accessdate=25 February 2015|work=The Daily Herald (Provo, Utah)}} 2. ^{{cite web |url= https://www.wakeupnow.com/product |title=Wake Up Now Products |author=WakeUpNow |work=wakeupnow.com |date=10 July 2014 |accessdate=5 January 2015}} 3. ^{{cite web |url= https://www.truthinadvertising.org/wake-nows-secret-things-know-mlm/ |title=Wake Up Now's Secret: Things You Need to Know about this MLM |author=Truth in Advertising |authorlink=Truth in Advertising (organization) |work=truthinadvertising.org |date=8 September 2014 |accessdate=5 January 2015}} 4. ^{{cite news|last1=Harvey|first1=Tom|title=Provo multilevel company shuts down, sues CEO for alleged mismanagement, self-dealing|url=http://www.sltrib.com/news/2194199-155/provo-multilevel-company-shuts-down-sues|accessdate=15 February 2016|agency=MediaNews Group|publisher=The Salt Lake Tribune|date=19 February 2015}} 5. ^1 {{cite web |url= http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/543/wake-up-now |title=Wake Up Now |first=Ira |last=Glass |authorlink=Ira Glass |work=This American Life |date=26 December 2014 |accessdate=5 January 2015}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://blog.extra-paycheck.com/wake-up-now-review/|title=Wake Up Now Income Disclosure|accessdate=28 October 2015}} 7. ^{{cite web |url= http://blog.wakeupnow.com/letter-phil-polich-ceo |title=Letter from CEO |author=Phil Polich |date=16 February 2015 |accessdate=17 February 2015 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150217223151/http://blog.wakeupnow.com/letter-phil-polich-ceo/|archivedate=17 February 2015}} External links
